I just completed a card and wanted to show you guys SO BADLY! It is based on the challenge over at Make it Colourful. The theme is “Vintage Photos” (Monochrome)! SOOO my cup of tea, coffee, coke, EVERYTHING! LOL (you can def tell I am a bit excited—OK, A LOT excited). The card’s layout is based on the sketch at Friday Sketchers. Here’s my card:

This card has SO MUCH dimension it is not even funny! There is a whole lotta foamy/spongy two way tape used on this card! I know there is A LOT going on in the card and that is why I have two views for you so you can see all the dimension.

Okay so the image is shaded with lead pencil. The flourishes and the second layer from the image (doily type) are cut from Silhouette. The biggest circle is a pattern paper that I designed on PS. The last white layer has been embossed and the edges are inked using black pigment ink and silver chalk ink. Oh and that frame around the sentiment is also cut from Silhouette. The two, very tiny hearts on the sentiment frame are scrap bits from the doily.

This is one fantastical card! All those dimensions and patterns flow so smoothly together. My opinion is it doesn't need anything else. Everything compliments each other so wonderfully. Because of all the cuts and dimensions, homemade paper and all I wouldn't charge any less than $10. It's truly a magnificent piece of art. Thanks for the freebie too!

This has to be the most beautiful card i have ever seen in blogland..trust me ..no kidding .. and please dont charge anything less than 20$ this beauty should reach the hands of someone who truly appreciates art and beauty..pleeeez share the image with me too.

I have seen some beautiful cards in my lifetime. This one is the most beautiful card I have ever seen. Don't you dare put anything else on that card. It's absolute perfection. A work of art. Do not charge less than $10.

I'm breathless! Oh how I have missed seeing your stunning creations. You are beyond amazing. The layers. The textures! WOWzers. Incredible pencil work. I don't think it's missing a thing, and how on earth could you price something this gorgeous? If I had to, I would say 25 dollars. NO kidding. How many hours did it take you? (5 days?) ;O)

I have no idea on what the cost should be, but I am sure you will be able to sell it without any trouble!

I am hopefully getting a Silhouette machine for my birthday in March, and I am looking forward to doing all the lovely things you have done with yours on this card. Where do you get your cutting files? I paricularly like the swirls one :o)
